The Brome County Historical Society heritage garden serves as an educational space, where both young and old can explore how locals in the past provided for their families. By showcasing root vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants, the garden highlights the essential crops and plants that shaped local traditions and practices. This living display offers a hands-on learning experience, allowing students to actively participate in the garden's creation, deepening their connection to the land and history.
The garden also celebrates the natural beauty and bountiful resources of Knowlton and Brome County. Knowlton Academy students have the opportunity to learn, design, and co-create within this space, planting and nurturing the garden as a reflection of local heritage. This space not only honors the traditions of the past but also fosters a sense of stewardship and pride for future generations
